    REPORT

    Human Rights and


    Biodiversity: Key Messages
    19 July 2021

    The fulfilment of a broad range of human rights depend on thriving


    biodiversity as well as healthy habitats and ecosystems. These rights
    include the rights to food, clean air and water, health, culture, and
    even the right to life. Conversely, biodiversity and habitat loss can
    result in violations of these and other human rights. For example,
    biodiversity loss may disproportionately harm the human rights of indigenous
    peoples, local communities, women and girls, children and youth, the poor, and
    those in vulnerable situations.

    States, businesses, international organizations, and other actors have obligations


    and responsibilities under both international environmental law and international
    human rights law to: address biodiversity and habitat loss, prevent its negative
    impacts on human rights, and ensure that actions to address biodiversity loss are
    equitable, non-retrogressive, non-discriminatory and sustainable.

    This document highlights the key human rights obligations and responsibilities
    of biodiversity-related agreements, policies, strategies and actions.
